Chapter 102 Departure to Yun Province
Jiang Yingying and He Yan were sent to the soft sleeper car. The train whistle sounded and the train broadcast also sounded, asking those who had not yet entered the station to do so quickly and for relatives and friends who were seeing them off to get off the train as soon as possible.
Jiang Yingying reluctantly said goodbye to Xu Zhishu and the others. After Jiang Chao and Xu Zhishu waved goodbye, Jiang Yang got out of the car with red eyes protected by He Yan.
The two got off the train and stood on the platform, watching the train whirring forward until Xu Zhishu's carriage passed in front of them. Jiang Yingying stood on tiptoe and waved vigorously.
Jiang Yang and the others also waved their hands, and the little brat's call of "Auntie" almost made Jiang Yingying cry.
The train passed in front of them, and Jiang Yang and the others could no longer be seen. Jiang Yingying then withdrew her gaze.
Looking at her red eyes, He Yan raised his hand and rubbed them distressedly, "Don't cry, we will be able to see them when we go back in a while."
He said: "How about we go back early?"
Jiang Yingying glared at him, "You haven't finished your sick leave yet. Besides, if you leave now, you don't know when you can come back to Beijing. Your parents won't want to let you go."
He Yan reached out to hug her, wondering how come his Yingying was so nice.
As soon as he made a move, Jiang Yingying hurriedly took a step back.
Seeing his hurt expression, Jiang Yingying said, "He's outside." She also looked around, fearing that someone might rush out.
It's no wonder that Jiang Yingying is so alert. The last time they were on the street, they were arm in arm. As a newlywed couple, they behaved intimately and a little clingy.
Then, they were stopped by the lady with red armbands, and the two of them were lectured by the lady with red armbands.
If He Yan hadn’t been so intimidating and hadn’t taken out their marriage certificate, who knows what would have happened.
Jiang Yingying learned about this period of history when she was studying in later life. During this period of time, those red armbands were very powerful. If she was caught doing something wrong by them, she might be in big trouble.
Therefore, after that experience, Jiang Yingying is very careful about the distance and behavior between each other when she is outside, for fear that she might be seen and caught by those hiding in the dark at any time, which would be bad.
Seeing the worry in Jiang Yingying's eyes, he said, "Don't worry, it's okay, we are husband and wife."
"Be careful. If those people get crazy, they won't care about anything."
He Yan frowned slightly, "These people," he held Jiang Yingying's hand, "Don't worry, this kind of life won't last long, this kind of arrogance won't exist for long."
"Um."
Jiang Yingying held his hand back, shook it, and said, "Okay, let's loosen up outside first, let's go back. By the way, do you want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative or the department store to see if there is anything to buy, and make some new and novel food for Ping An and the others in the evening?"
"Aunt Qin should have prepared all kinds of food at home. Let's go take a look and buy whatever we want. If there's nothing you want to buy, it's okay to just go shopping."
"good."
Seeing Jiang Yingying let go of his hand and even deliberately kept a distance from him, He Yan bit his back teeth and for the first time felt a strong disgust for the red armband.
Three generations of their family have served in the army. Their parents are old revolutionaries. Aunt Qin is also from the Women's Army. In addition, their brother and sister-in-law are all of good family background.
He had known about the social environment before and had felt disgusted with injustice. He Yan spent most of his time in the military area, or at worst on missions in the deep mountains or remote areas.
The last time he was on the road with Jiang Yingying, it was the first time he felt the arrogance and unreasonableness of the red armband so clearly.
He Yan frowned. Jiang Yingying took two steps ahead of him and found that he didn't catch up. She turned around and called out, "What's wrong? Let's go?"
Meeting her gaze, his frown relaxed, and he followed her, responding, "Okay, let's go."
The two of them walked around the department store, and Jiang Yingying picked out two more of those clockwork frogs. She didn't expect that such toys would be available at this time.
The salesperson said that this is a hot commodity that was shipped from Shanghai.
Jiang Yingying bought it and returned to the compound. When He Ping and He An saw the toy, they kept calling their aunt the best.
He Yan directly called them sugar-coated bullets and little flatterers, just coaxing Jiang Yingying to buy toys for them.
This argument made the two brothers so angry that they ignored their uncle until dinner.
He Yan's sick leave still lasts for more than half a month. In the following days, He Jingqi and Lin Guifang will try their best to go home on time like ordinary workers.
As soon as He Ping and He An had their holidays, Jiang Yingying and He Yan took them and Aunt Qin out to play and visit the inner and outer cities.
On weekdays, Jiang Yingying and Aunt Qin would stay in the kitchen, making delicious food for the family, and mailing some dried fruits and meat to He Yan's brothers.
When He Yan had nine days left on his sick leave, He Jingqi and Lin Guifang specially asked for two days off. They squeezed out these two days by working overtime.
On that day, the family went to a photo studio to take pictures, and then went to eat at the private restaurant that He Yan and Jiang Yingying had tried before, which served dishes made with ingredients from the day. In the afternoon, they went to the park together to go rafting.
The next day, the family stayed at home, doing nothing, but time passed quickly and it was dark in a flash.
He Yan and Jiang Yingying have already bought sleeper tickets to Yun Province tomorrow. Today, Jiang Yingying watched Lin Guifang and Aunt Qin packing their luggage for the journey, and she couldn't stop them. It was even more than what they packed for Jiang Chao and his friends last time.
"Why are you leaving so soon..." Lin Guifang's eyes were full of reluctance to part with Jiang Yingying. That night, He Yan's bed was successfully occupied by Lin Guifang.
He looked at the pillow in his hand, then at the closed door, went downstairs, and saw He Jingqi sitting in the living room.
He Yan couldn't help but ask, "Old Comrade He, can't you take care of Comrade Lin Guifang?"
He Jingqi glanced at him leisurely, "Wait until you can control your Xiao Jiang, then come and talk to me again." He Jingqi picked up the enamel cup on the table, stood up and prepared to go back to the room, "By the way."
He took two steps and looked back at He Yan.
"Find a room for yourself, or you can sleep on this sofa."
After saying this, He Jingqi leisurely returned to his room.
Looking at the old man closing the door, He Yan felt that he was angry. He picked up his pillow and returned to the cubicle.
Lying on the bed in the small compartment, without his sweet and soft wife by his side, He Yan tossed and turned for a while before he could barely fall asleep.
He had just closed his eyes for a moment when he heard the sound of Aunt Qin preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
There was also the sound of Ping'an's two children running down the stairs upstairs. He Yan got up helplessly. For the first time, he felt that his super hearing also had shortcomings.
